Product Description

Our Dahlia Mignon Bishop Dark Leaf Mixed will produce an abundance of flowers throughout the summer, up until autumn, wth the added bonus of gorgeous dark leaf foliage. They prefer to be in a sunny location, and look superb in pots on the patio or in a sunny border. The single open nature of its blooms make it an excellent late source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and other pollinating insects. It's perfect for cutting, deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Height 60-80cm. Top grade tubers are supplied.

Growing at a glance…

Dahlia tubers can be planted outdoors, 10cm deep in fertile well-drained soil in spring when the frost has disappeared. They prefer to be in a sunny location and spaced at approximately 45cm apart. In areas where there is extreme cold, dig up dahlias and store in potting compost over the winter. Apply a high potash fertiliser every few weeks in the summer to help growth. Dead head when necessary.
